How Ditching the Drink set me Free - Loyiso Mkele

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life! My guest this week is the lovely Loyiso Mkele. We met long before I started Tribe Sober and we had no idea that we had a "drink problem" in common ;-) However once I managed to stop drinking and started Tribe Sober, Loyiso reached out for help. She's been sober for two years and is thriving in her alcohol free life - have a listen to how she did it!   In this Episode For 13 years Loyso was drinking at least a bottle of wine a day - she knew the problem would just get worse She knew she would have to make a change but had no idea HOW to make the change One day she heard me on the radio and because she knew me personally that shocked her into action - Loyiso realised that there was a support group for people like her Coming to the workshop was a huge relief for Loyiso - not only had she found her tribe but she now had a practical toolkit By using the toolkit and connecting with the tribe she was able to stop drinking - she loved the sense of community She was inspired by people who were hitting their milestones - and eventually became a role model herself She is now a Sober Buddy with two years of sobriety and enjoys helping our newbies to get started Loyiso had some tips for people starting out - find your people and connect with them daily. Immerse yourself in quitlit and podcasts - expect to be tired for a while and to get cravings for sweet things - eat fruit! Remember that alcohol free wine is your friend - take it out with you and use it at home when you would normally have a drink More info Subscription membership for Tribe Sober join up HERE To access our website click HERE If you would like a free copy of our"Annual Tracker" please email [email protected] If you would like to come to our Saturday afternoon Zoom Cafe as a guest and meet our community just email [email protected] Episode Sponsor           This episode is sponsored by the Tribe Sober Membership Program.  If you want to change your relationship with alcohol then            sign up today.            Read more about our 7-step program and subscribe HERE           Book a Discovery Call with me to find out if our membership would help you - calendar on homepage of tribesober.com           Help us to spread the word!
